You have an AMAZING outlook and example!! I appreciate that you seem to live who you are. good guy!!!!!!!!! Keep on keepin on!!!!!!!!!! Love your passion!! You express it in all you show!! Inspiring!! Thanks Shug!!! Music is Soul touching!!!
Every time I hear the word early, I immediately repeat EARLY!!! Shug I've been following you for so many years. You're a light to the world. Woooooo Buddy!
Shug...i really really enjoyed this hike and video...so calm and beautiful....love to see you out there alone but enjoying yourself...although i will say...i was swatting at the flies and skeeters around ya buddy! You are awesome! Just a big thank you.
Big change in temperature from hot and humid to cooler and rain shows how prepared you are with clothing and kit. Thanks Shug for allowing us to tag along. 👍
Shug really like the pictures of the flowers , flora , & wildlife! Keep it up really enjoy all of the green & color you video , I live in the southwest desert!!🤓😵💫😎
I hiked that loop 50+ years ago. The only thing that didn’t change was the rock. All the big trees are gone. Time.... thanks for sharing. Terry&ThePirates
Watched your hammock vids years ago and was reunited w/ your jovial persona on the Backpacking Radio podcast. So, totally had to watch your circus vid - impressive life story and it was great to hear you talk about it so openly on the podcast. Have had a few friends paddle the BWCA and my take was, I might like to backpack around those lakes if that's a thing. So now I know! Nice "real" backpacking video. Big thanks to you Shug, I bought a Warbonnet Blackbird after watching your videos (circa 2011) and still use it when trail conditions are right. I have been singing the Blackbird praises for year- sweet hanging hammock and yes, great to sit back and sip a cup of Joe in the morning. Hope to hang in the BWCA one day. Side note, also a Sean here and mother's maiden name is Shaughnessy ("O" was dropped at Ellis Island). Highland Way is on the bucket list! Ok, now on to part two.
Sweet shot of those Loons! Man I think the Carribou Rock Trail is calling my name! Don't know why , this video just made me think of it. Thanks brother!
Shug, just driving away from Ely. We camped on Ensign just north of Snowbank. R&R weekend trip. We had a blast, rocked the Eno and Chrysalis. I also brought that Off fan and it kept the skeeters at bay! Be good Shug and thanks!
Love seeing this Shug! I spent half the summer on Snowbank in 1999 working at Jackpine Lodge (no longer there). I cleaned many many lake trout that summer. Took a few canoe campers over to Disappointment portage. Amazing country in them parts 😀
Your ok shug, your sillyer than me. You still flying your planes. Man when I was younger I had so much fun flying those planes in the school yard and my grampas field. When I see you flying, it brings back good memories.❤❤
Shug, your adventures take me to my most favorite state and places! Your passion for the outdoors is contagious! God bless you for making these videos! I can’t wait to get back to the north woods soon! Be safe! Best wishes!😀🙏🏻
As always I enjoy your videos Shug and as a fellow introvert it makes it easier to relate to the way you see things. I've been meaning to thank you for a while now for entertaining me twice when you were with the circus, there's nothing like the circus in the world these days.😔
Nice one Mr E. IMO that black BB cap is you ! Hate losing trail while solo . After one scary night lost off trail, I always carry 5 bright fluorescent, shocking pink ribbons. I do not use them everytime I lose the trail , but if I have tried a couple of directions and still not found it , especially in a area that all looks the same I do !!! I tie them on 4 corners of a tree that is on the trail , and circle around looking for the trail ALWAYS keeping at least one ribbon in sight . When I find the trail I tie a 5th one to a tree there . They weigh nothing and having made my lost trail times much less stressful !! In a group , always leave one person ON the trail while others look !! Been many places where there have been lost hiker(s) , Whites , LVG , Pictured Rocks , MNF, RMNP etc etc . It is very easy to do . May take the kids advice and get one of them newfangled Garmin things .Stay safe , now let me C.O maple King :D bg
This was a very nice and calming video Shug, I just finally upgraded to the Dutchware Chameleon with the Warbonnet Underquilt and it has completely transformed a good nights sleep after 7 years of sleeping in a Hennessy Hammock. I added a Tensa4 stand as well for my motorcycle trips and it's just pure bliss when I get to set up camp anywhere. Thanks to you for all the great videos explaining everything.
I love everything about this video. Heck of a wolf call. I noticed you also ha e that little insect card hanging above your hammock. Looks like you're using everything lol what a lovely place. And chocolate/orange....winning combination. Gonna check out Hickory's site. Thanks so much!!
Just what I needed to watch this morning. I've hiked up in the mountains and it's good your using the zinc - - better safe than sorry - - that's just the look of someone enjoying the outdoors. Thanks for the ride along🎪
@@shugemery your right it does - when I was in the mountain's the only thing that got sunburnt was the part of my scalp that wasn't covered by my scarf - - next time I'll wear a hat
that rock was pretty cool..it looked like a face on the left side..that area looks so cool..great trip report...when low miles are challenging you turn in early..
When you spoke about the punk sticks and the bugs, I saw your Aura. It was like a Bob Ross painting, Prussian Blue, Yellow Ochre, Cyan, and Magic White (could be Zinc Oxide). gonnaseemaplekingnowokbye
I attempted that loop about 15 years ago on July 4th. I pulled a few dozen ticks off my shoes and socks in one sitting. The trail was completely overgrown and I lost the trail and fell in a hole. Combined with a log freshly ripped apart by a bear, heavy equipment, and 90° temps, I pulled the cord after night 1. I'm surprised I ever backpacked again.
That 1st foggy morning at the lake I was hoping to see Nessie swimming around. Maybe she did and you're keeping the secret safe ; ) Wooo Buddy 40 degree mornings are far off for me. Good stuff
Pocket Bacon? YES!!! I've tried some of the other no refrigeration bacon, but it still wants to be added to a sandwich or cooked up a little. The bacon you brought on this trip looks like ready to eat Pocket Bacon! The wonders never cease. I'll definitely be trying out some maple bacon on my next trip. I'd enjoy a peppered bacon like that, I hope they make that too.
shugemery : I took a look at the Jack Links website and they have a 'Hickory' smoked bacon and an 'EARLY' (AM) 'Maple King' Bacon!! ...How can they not send you a case to promote in your videos?!?! I think you should send them an email and ask for some promotional samplers. I never knew this product existed before seeing it in your video. I think they'd certainly benefit (as would you) from a strategically shipped box of bacon to the Lord of Lolligag to enjoy during breakfast from the hammock. 🥓
Here in Pennsylvania we dont get those kind of treats. I averaged about 1.74 my last hike and I thought I'd be up around 2 miles an hour lol. You are one entertaining fellow! Cant wait to camp this weekend .
I thought I'd pass along this recipe since you're the guy that got me into liking PackIt Gourmet. I tried that Poblano Corn Chowder BUT added a small container of the Phillips Crab meat from the store which turns it into the best seafood bisque! Oh man that was so good!
Thanks for slipping us into your pouch. I really enjoyed being out in nature, even if it was from my armchair. Don't worry about the zink oxide Shug. We're used to the clown in you showing through. By the way, I don't think you have to worry about attracting any wolves with that wolf call. We've been getting tons of rain here in your old stomping grounds. Some of our trees are looking like they're going to topple over. The good news is we now have lake front property. As always, really enjoyed riding along with you.
@@shugemery Shug this is my part 2 of 3 series for my 215 mile SHT hike if you have the time to watch. I loved your Boundary Waters videos that you just did and I'm looking forward to your next adventure :) th-cam.com/video/h5RqF_BGH-E/w-d-xo.html
Hey shug could you do a video on where you get your food for your trips sometime or a list of your favorite meals to bring with you. Thanks for your great kid friendly content!! My family and I are sending you a big Woo Buddy!!
Nice little adventure happening there. Spreading the gospel a bit. A young man I know is graduating from high school, and will be receiving a tarp/hammock/bug net, and an alcohol stove, to get him pointed in the right direction (out of doors and sleeping properly while camping)… and I'll send him a link to a good TH-cam channel on how to use the stuff.
@@shugemery Is the chocolate still indecently thick? There was a chocolate mint Club too, might have been called Golf. You just can't beat biscuit based nostalgia.
Thanks Shug, looks sooo fun. With all the hammock you have, what factors do you consider in deciding which hammock to use on a particular trip? Thanks Skeeterpops, New Richmond, Wi.
Another interesting and entertaining video Shug! On one of your interior shots I saw an orange square something hanging from your ridgeline. It had numerous holes shaped like stars in it. What in the blue blazes is that?
Such a beautiful place 😍😍😍😍 Thanks again for another amazing video 😊! PS: I went back on the video and couldn't see anything on your face, but even if it was there, you're still awesome 👍👍🤘🤘!!
Shug, your video has answered one of the most asked questions... Question: Why do loons have such an odd _(some would say haunting)_ call? Answer : If you were swarmed with gnats and mosquitoes, you'd sound like that too.
Wonderful video as usual..thank you for sharing. I have learned A LOT from your videos..thank you. Have you had the chance to look at/review the Hammock Gear Zippered Bug Net Hammock? I picked one up and am liking it so far. (in the back yard)
Ive seen all or most of your vids (including your control line vids, I fly RC planes)..observation..you seem to exclusively use the "store" bought freeze dried meals..which is cool..question.??..do you/have you ever done the home dehydrator thing for backpacking meals??..i switched over to that a while back and have had very good success with it ..as always enjoy your vids!!
Shug this has been a great couple of videos. I have a question: what are the bug repellent punks that you use? About 16:15 into the video. I've been searching and all I can find are whimpy looking skinny ones
Glad you mentioned the bugs, I would have packed up and gone home at the first sight of them, can't handle the bitey little fellas - or ladies to be politically correct. You get extra macho points for sticking it out 👍👍
hey since ur campin in the heat now ,cmon 2 sc the breeze here keeps the bugs at bay,id luv 2 take u shrimpin shug,ur always welcome at the welty house here in sc,thanks 4 the vid
You have an AMAZING outlook and example!! I appreciate that you seem to live who you are. good guy!!!!!!!!! Keep on keepin on!!!!!!!!!! Love your passion!! You express it in all you show!! Inspiring!! Thanks Shug!!! Music is Soul touching!!!
Your kind words humble me. Thankeeeee
Every time I hear the word early, I immediately repeat EARLY!!! Shug I've been following you for so many years. You're a light to the world. Woooooo Buddy!
EARLY!!!! Thanks for the nice comment.
Loved the scenery and your camping sites Just beautiful. And as always just love you being you. Keep on keeping on Shug
It feels so good to just go out and have the time.
Great job Shug..love the new music..everytime you walk this trail it looks you fine new things along the trail..can't waittill the next one..
I thankee. Trails just keep changing and giving yearly.....
@@shugemery yEARLY!
Best line: "it's not the crawlin', it's the standin' back up after". :-)
True talk though!
Thank you! I needed a Shug video this morning. BWCA here we come.
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Shug...i really really enjoyed this hike and video...so calm and beautiful....love to see you out there alone but enjoying yourself...although i will say...i was swatting at the flies and skeeters around ya buddy! You are awesome! Just a big thank you.
Thankee.
Two Thumbs up... Shug, "your music" fits the spirit of your videos.... Well played and arranged..! Thanks for letting me share your adventure...
Thanks for saying so.
Big change in temperature from hot and humid to cooler and rain shows how prepared you are with clothing and kit. Thanks Shug for allowing us to tag along. 👍
It is known to change quickly up there for sure. And it does!
Shug really like the pictures of the flowers , flora , & wildlife!
Keep it up really enjoy all of the green & color you video , I live in the southwest desert!!🤓😵💫😎
Whooooooo Buddy)))))
Ahhh the ducks the flowers the view. So refreshing!
Whoooo buddy!!!!
And the candy too! You are such a source of information for the undiscovered pallot!!!!
Thankee Don
Disappointed .... I was not. Another great vid and the music was, as usual, a welcome addition.
Righto and thankee Dan.
I hiked that loop 50+ years ago. The only thing that didn’t change was the rock. All the big trees are gone. Time.... thanks for sharing. Terry&ThePirates
Terry...who are the Pirates? Are you a band?
shugemery Hay Shug. The pirates are my many friends and email subscribers. Your one of the pirates also. Terry&ThePirates
I have a short thumb, a gummy eye and a gnat on my shoulder.
My daughter just told me..."Do you know what to do if you are attacked by a group of Clowns?......Go for the Juggler...." :)
Never tire of that joke. Jugglers are wiry though. Better to go for the magician.
Okay I am now quite jealous
absolutely beautiful views and that lake I bet there's damn good fishing in there as well
Big fish jumping. I may take up fishing sometime.

That heat and humidity is no joke. Just keep it moovin' Shug, you're doing fine. 😄
Yessir!
Good night,Sir Shug! That was quite the rain!
Sweet shot of those Loons! Man I think the Carribou Rock Trail is calling my name! Don't know why , this video just made me think of it. Thanks brother!
Good hike that.
Welcome to Minnesota. Don’t like the weather wait 10 mins it’ll change! Thanks Shug great share Thanks
WOOOO BUDDEAH
So true.
Shug, just driving away from Ely. We camped on Ensign just north of Snowbank. R&R weekend trip. We had a blast, rocked the Eno and Chrysalis. I also brought that Off fan and it kept the skeeters at bay! Be good Shug and thanks!
Great area. So good you got out there.

Cool to hear that.
We did this same trip last year Shug! Nice to see it from your perspective.
Dang good challenging walk. Glad you got to traipse it.
I love the sound of rain on a tarp. Thanks for sharing Shug!
Especially when your dry and sipping a hot brew.
Your ok shug, your sillyer than me. You still flying your planes. Man when I was younger I had so much fun flying those planes in the school yard and my grampas field. When I see you flying, it brings back good memories.❤❤
Good times. Great memories.
@@shugemery They sure wrere.👍👍👊👊
good music (love it) and enjoyable scenery, thx shug
Thank you.
Great trip. And perfectly placed tunes. Thanks for sharing. Have a good one.
Appreciate that.
Shug. You make my day by posting going out while I am stuck in the concrete jungle
Enjoy tar-town as much as you can.
I was up there two years ago for a canoe trip. Such a beautiful place. Hoping to go back this fall or next year!
The quiet is worth it for sure.
Love the music! Watching the duck at the reminded me of the "nature" portion of the "Sunday Morning " show.
Thankee.
thanks man, good to see one of Marty's SS quilts hanging in the BWCA. good times!
Got them last summer. Will miss that guy.
@@shugemery me too brother, thanks again.
Beautiful music and beautiful view at 12:15! Merci Shug!
Yay club bars classic always had one in my school pack lunch as a kid ...cheers shug
Good lunch I say!

Whooooo Buddy)))))
4:01 to 4:21, pure zen. Thanks for taking us along, Shug. WB!!!
Embrace the Zen I am. When I can.
As always I enjoy your videos Shug and as a fellow introvert it makes it easier to relate to the way you see things.
I've been meaning to thank you for a while now for entertaining me twice when you were with the circus, there's nothing like the circus in the world these days.😔

Nice music all the way through this video Shug!
Thanks so much.
I love that Shug blues. Whoooooo buddy, you look contented. With an orange club who wouldn’t. Mint ones good too 👍
Thank you and yes, the mint is sooo good too.
Hahaha ahhhh, how I love you, brother. Safe travels
I thankee.
I love these most excellent lollygag hikes.
Was the last for a while I reckon.
Awesome a new video! I recently bought your hoodie For the backwood hood! It should be coming in tomorrow or the next day. Ha ha whoooo Budddy
Thankee for the support~~~~
Great shots of the loon! Really cool
They presented!
I really need to find out how far it is to that area from Eagle River Wis my daughter's want to hike that area. thank you for bringing us along
5 1/2 drive for me from Twin Cities. So worth it.
Looks like a road trip is in my future
When you spoke about the punk sticks and the bugs, I saw your Aura. It was like a Bob Ross painting, Prussian Blue, Yellow Ochre, Cyan, and Magic White (could be Zinc Oxide).

That does sound scrumptious!
As long as it keeps you safe buddy you do what you need
Aye!
Some very nice hanging sites for sure. Even the loons don't get any respect from the bugs. Take care, Al
I know. Never knew the bugs bugged them so much.
Digging this immensely ❤️

Just be gentle...should be OK.
Video idea: What are the most worth-it purchases you have made when it comes to hammocks and hammock gear? Love your videos shug! Whooo Buddy!
A good underquilt.
Those Club biscuits used to be a lot bigger in the 1970s, or mebbe I was smaller.
Two more bites would be good...but it satisfied me.

Thank you Shug!
Y'elcome.
You got some singin' and pickin' going on in this video Shug!
I add some in from time to time.
Goodtimes.. Where DO you get all those amazingly good looking treats?
Thanks for the video
Some are gifts from viewers. Some from amazon. Some from World Market. I am always on the hunt.
I have been to world market.. Seems like it's time to go again.
Shug, your video has answered one of the most asked questions...
Question: Why do loons have such an odd _(some would say haunting)_ call?
Answer : If you were swarmed with gnats and mosquitoes, you'd sound like that too.
Righto...never knew the bugs swarmed them like that.
Wonderful video as usual..thank you for sharing. I have learned A LOT from your videos..thank you. Have you had the chance to look at/review the Hammock Gear Zippered Bug Net Hammock? I picked one up and am liking it so far. (in the back yard)
I've not seen one yet...don't own one. Enjoy yours.
You're making it hard for us to stay home, watching you out and about and -- wait, what? themapleking.com is open? Sustained whimsy. I love it!
Open but still not all active. I jumped on this trip. None for a spell now....
That's some pretty righteous blues for an old white guy Shug. ;-)
I ain't white-white...haaaaa!
You coming to NC this year buddy!
Hope to at some point.
Beauty loon shots.
They were showing off for the camera.
5:20 Do you ever worry about lightning and basically being attached to two trees in a hammock?
I am always prepared to bail and take cover but I just always hope for the best. Just stay low and not on the tallest trees.
Ive seen all or most of your vids (including your control line vids, I fly RC planes)..observation..you seem to exclusively use the "store" bought freeze dried meals..which is cool..question.??..do you/have you ever done the home dehydrator thing for backpacking meals??..i switched over to that a while back and have had very good success with it ..as always enjoy your vids!!
I used to but just takes more time to get ready. These days prefer easy. Nice to dehydrate leftovers...if I had any.
Shug this has been a great couple of videos. I have a question: what are the bug repellent punks that you use? About 16:15 into the video. I've been searching and all I can find are whimpy looking skinny ones
